Abstract

In the fight against the Islamic State (IS) group, the participation of Kurdish female fighters has attracted the attention of the global media and scholars. The significant contribution of the Women's Protection Units (YPJ) received ample coverage by the Western media. However, such coverage represented specific and different characteristics to the one focused on male fighters. This article employs feminist studies of gender stereotyping to analyse the Western media articulation of women's active role in this conflict.
